摘要

A technique for communicating in a network management system is disclosed. The technique includes transferring information from an application server to a gateway that processes the information, transferring the gateway processed information from the gateway to a plurality of adapters associated with the gateway that process the gateway processed information, and transferring the adapter processed information from one of the adapters to a client.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by an application server device comprising at least one processor, first adapter-processed information from a first adapter in accordance with a first communication protocol, wherein the first adapter-processed information comprises network performance data generated by a network element device and processed by the first adapter; processing, by the application server device using a first application server instance of a plurality of application server instances executing on the application server device, the first adapter-processed information based on a performance management service to produce application-processed information; sending, by the application server device, the application-processed information to a gateway device, wherein the gateway device is configured to transfer the application-processed information to a second adapter configured to process the application-processed information in accordance with a second communication protocol to yield second adapter-processed information and transfer the second adapter-processed information to an operation support system device; and in response to determining that the first application server instance has become disabled, generating, by the application server device, an instruction configured to associate the first adapter with a second application server instance of the plurality of application server instances and to associate the gateway device with the second application server instance.
